Faults and all, I loved him. Truly, deeply, madly.
“It’s only ever been you,” he said, his voice low and husky in the stillness of my quiet bedroom. “Only you, Rebel.”

You’re a goddamn warrior, Rebel. The real hero in our story.
“For making my mommy cry. When she looks at your pictures, she cries and I don’t like it.”
“You owe me an entire galaxy. I’m still waiting for you to put the stars back in the sky.”
